The news a few months ago that UTEP will play in a Nov tournament in Puerto Rico and now news that West Star will continue sponsoring the Sun Bowl basketball tournament thru 2020, makes me a little hopeful that the next mbb schedule will be improved over this year. With UNM coming to EP and NMSU twice plus the PR tourney and hopefully at least 1 known team in the SB tourney, how will this team fare? Not knowing exactly what the make up of the team will be, we never will know that as long as Floyd is the coach, I'm guessing that beating UNM, NMSU at home, plus a couple of wins in PR, the record should be much better next season heading into conference play. With 7 of the top 8 players returning plus the newcomers, UTEP should be considered one of the top teams in C-USA going into he season.
